It’s been a while since I checked in. Typically this place serves to resolve the tumult, of which there hasn’t been much in the current configuration. Despite all the environmental stressors, things are good. I’m functioning at a high level and in charge of my path forward.

The penalty of pain is a reminder that guilt from the past is a force to be realized in the present. Of course, this is abundantly true of regret. For all the mistakes I’ve made, I always find a way to rebound into the positive. I learned what keeps me stable, and pursue an environment that facilitates it. Sounds simple but it definitely is not.

I have it though… that tranquility. At the expense of the past, I have a sustainable future. If I keep myself healthy, I should continue within the safety of it.

I won’t forget the past, but it is not a place I live in any longer. I feel, see, breathe and renew my charge to stay in my life and not leave it behind. Pain. Sadness. The tender place if newly mended skin. I know those tears are mine.
